This exhibition will show items that have deep personal significance, but also memorabilia from a time that no longer exists – original documents, photographs, old typewriter, identification seals and stamps, as well as my father’s walking cane, reading glasses and many other personal items. These have never been seen outside the family, but as we embark up a new chapter in the history of the company, we must embrace and share our past as well,” said Mr. Abdulmagied Seddiqi, Chairman, Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons.
